   A good way to explore the algorithms of the robot is to set it out to run in the night. At the entrance of the room, set a high obstruction. Set up a tripod. Take long exposure photos every minute or so. Then turn on the lights/wait ti

   >Back to the computer science: 470,000+ features sounds nice at first, but is a recipe for overfitting when we only have 700 samples at our disposal. Proceeds to use (1024^2 * 2 + 1024) parameters in the neural network.

    I used to work at the ABC (the aussie version of BBC). We have a pretty good streaming service called iview. It started ahead of the curve, 2 years before Netflix started its streaming service. While I wasn't there at the time, stories

    Good news is that the Gonum team has been working on an optimized pure Go version of BLAS. It's at parity with netlib blas for some of the important functions (GEMV, GEMV, etc). Why is this good news? Go is a very easy to use language,

    Aha, is this why there was a weird period in the 90s where scifi movies used satellites to reflect sun off to the ground to use as weapons (GoldenEye and the 1970s precursor, Diamonds are Forever), Batman and Robin (using satellites to heat
